List
Overview
This is an “abstract” entity type, a group of related entities.
A list response consists of 0 or more entities. Lists are pageable. Lists are frequently partial representations. List calls provide query parameters (typically fields
) to select which XML tags are included Lists may have a <link>
tags with the rel
attributes of next
or prev
. Following the href
will change the current page. Note that computing the total can be slow for large lists, so we discourage building your own paging links. If you must, please cache and send the total
query parameter with each request.
